PRL Explanation

PRL

(Preferred Roaming List)

The PRL is a list of information that resides in the memory of some kinds of digital phones. It lists the radio frequencies the phone can use in various geographic areas.

The part of the list for each area is ordered by the bands the phone should try to use first. Therefore it's a kind of priority list for which towers the phone should use.

The PRL helps determine which home-network towers to use, and also which towers belonging to other networks to use in roaming situations (areas where the home network has no coverage.) When roaming, the PRL may instruct the phone to use the network with the best roaming rate for the carrier, rather than the one with the strongest signal at the moment.

Since a PRL tells the phone "where" to search for a signal, as carrier networks change over time, an updated PRL may be required for a phone to "see" all of the coverage that it should, both with the home network and for roaming.

I don't know if it would work on Warm Z. It could or it could not, I really have no idea, but if epst doesn't work, that might not either.

I think there's a flashable zip somewhere in this thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
Yeah but wouldn't be wise to just nandroid back to sense so you can update your profile as well? It takes less than 10 min why half ass it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
haha well..it was worth a shot. continue to try...I only get results like yours (post fix) when there is a tower down. prime example is here at work. The tower was up for like a week. I keep calling sprint...they claim they will fix it..it works for a week or two..then down again.

feel free to try it from other areas... they claim you shouldn't be on any one single tower for more than 5 miles so every 2-5 miles you would be connecting to different towers.

really bum deal here in dfw is verizon is crap..so not even that fix works when I don't get a signal from sprint
[EVO 4G Android Development] GatoEnFuego:
Wow, you don't have any option! I've heard the "we have a tower down" excuse way too many times for way too long. At my house at midnight i get close to 600kbps but at my work downtown Phx it's absolutely useless. The fact that I listen to music/howard stern all day long I need to have decent throughput. Verizon is working quite well for me, I'll make the switch when Sprint cancels my account. I just hope there is a decent phone available by then, I do not want a Droid 2 or the Incredible. The Thunderbird will be decent I guess...

Hi there I keep trying to flash the zip file that is posted but I keep getting the installation aborted message. I thought you were able to just flash this. Anyone know what I could do to have a successful flash?

And no, these are not flashable zips (neither is the zip above this post). If you bothered to open it and look inside you'd realize why!!!

The more important question is what has really been changed in this new prl?

The Preferred Roaming List (PRL) is a database that assists the mobile in the acquisition and selection of a serving CDMA network. The PRL is fundamental for operators since it is through the PRL that the home operator informs their mobile devices about system updates and system expansions.

When the Sprint data network updated from Rev. 0 to Rev. A how do you think the devices that were upgradable connected to the Rev A network? I'm a Data Consultant for Sprint in the Northeast Market in Boston, Ma.

When ever new towers are activated or new services are rolled most devices receive a PRL update over the air so most are in aware of it but those that are not have to be done manually. GSM carriers do the exact same updates there just not called PRL. What alot of people seem to forget is that OTAs can also be used for service/network updates.

On the case of 4g if Sprint is using Clearwire Services for there 4g what would that be called??? Technically it a Roaming agreement between Sprint and Clearwire. whenever Clearwire activates new service or expands it service a PRL update is required for you devices to register in that area or in most cases your device will update without your knowledge.

[EVO 4G Android Development] who1981:
CM7? GPS too!

For those of you on CM7 who are thinking of NANDing/flashing back to Sense to update you PRL... First check your GPS functionality. If it isn't great in CM7 (I.E. not good enough to use nav properly), you'll want to do a:

##GPSCLRX#

and enter your MSL (there's an app for that), while you're still in Sense.

Worked great for me, totally fixed my GPS.

Also the reports of speed boosts from the new PRL may due to the phone connecting to a tower that it didn't know about before...so, not all horse feathers.

Comfortaa 1.003 was my favorite font on the Captivate. Here's a way you can get it on your Inspire:

Download Comfortaa.

Copy it to the root of your SD card

Downgrade Clockwork Mod to oldest version (ROM Manager --> "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" --> "2.5.1.3")

Flash the zip and reboot.

Voila, you now have one of the sexiest fonts ever. The CWM downgrade is necessary because it won't flash otherwise. You can return it to the newest version afterwards.

Out of curiousity, is there a walkthrough you can post on how to make a flashable zip for any font that someone may want to put on their Inspire. I have a few fonts that I like and would like to do this for them....

Thanks ahead of time!

[HTC Inspire 4G] BunnyJ:
Thanks for sharing this. I'm really digging this font!
[HTC Inspire 4G] emarsha:
If you are rooted, you can download an app called "font changer" from the market and change the fonts whenever you feel like it. Just drop the .ttf file in the .fontchanger folder in your sdcard. The app will reboot for you and viola! new font.

*I email the .ttf file and move it to that folder with root explorer. :D

Press and hold on Home Screen > Custom Shortcut > Activities > "Pick your Activity"

When you do that, IF you can create a custom shortcut to that activity, then it should be listed there. You may need to look for headings like "com.motorola" and expand it to see the subheadings, so it may take some indepth searching around.

[myTouch 4G General] carmeng4evr:
Just a question :) And i am going to post it in both the dell & mytouch sections to see what kind of response i can get.

I often come to these sites to get expert opinions on things to pass on to my friends and that is the case here.

My friend has a mytouch 4g(hates it) and he posted a craigslist ad to trade it. Originally he had a G2 but traded it for the mytouch 4g.

Okay, so he finds a Dell Streak and discusses it with the guy. They email back & forth and all that good stuff and then the guy sends him an email asking how much money was going to put with it. So he of course comes and gets me and asks me how much is fair, so i proceeded to email the guy for him.

Why would Micah(my friend) give cash to trade his 4g device for a 3g device(it should be the other way around but micah didn't ask for cash). The guy's response is The 4g doesn't run at actual 4g speeds. Um regardless, what you believe the standard for 4g to be...Either way, data wise wouldn't the Mytouch still be faster

Then he said the phones were the exact same specs. Ummm...If so, then why are you trying to charge him?

The mytouch 4g has more ram, a faster & up to date processor, better data speeds and better camera than both on the Dell

The Dell is 3g only(although since they are both t-mobile customers, the guy would get 4g speeds and Micah would get edge only), Less Ram, and low quality camera. Not to mention a processor that is like 2, 2 1/2 years old.

The only key benefit for the Streak is the big screen.

So was I wrong for intervening and telling My friend that the dude is basically trying to rip him off or does he actually have a valid point in asking for money.

I know more about the mytouch and I really don't know much about the streak but if i am wrong, then by all means let me know i am wrong.

Thanks :)
[myTouch 4G General] tech_p:
I dont think you're wrong for telling your friend that dude was trying to get him. I paid full price for my MT4G, it was $599 @ Best Buy, the Dell Streak is $499. I started to get the Streak but found ou that you cant get the full data service on Tmobile or somthing like that. The Streak is some bull compared to the MT4G
[myTouch 4G General] BlackSHELF:
First of all years ago I did consider dell streak and matter of fact it had bigger screen than HD2(1st 4.3" phone year b4 POS Evo was even born) but I got HD2. So tell your friend NOT to put any money on it as it wont be fair trade.

The guy is just failed merchant as he basically trying to do 360 on your friend. Meaning hitting him for cash when its him who has to add it. Dell streak has less ram than Leo1024 and MT4G has more ram then it along with rom. As its using 2GS SoC with Adreno205(AMD z460 gpu), and is 4g capable. In simple terms MT4G is better in every way possible.

Tell your friend exactly what I say below. "Kid when you get serious then contact me as I am not even doing event trading MT4G for Streak. Much less put cash on top of it, but if you want it then you add $150 and ill even consider it for that POS."

Tell your friend to tell him that and if the guy don't respond he can F himself. As your friend can sell MT4G for $350 with no problem as phone is 3months old where Streak is 2+ year old and sell for half of the price. It would be dumb if your friend took the offer as is much less adding money to it. If something happens then leave me PM and ill get back to you soon as possible.

Thank you for the replies thus far :) I appreciate it.

All the things I know about Cellphones, Android in general I learn from you guys so when he came and got me and asked me(since he thinks I know all about phones all on my own ha) I

A)asked him why in the world he wanted a streak(For the Screen size he says)

B)Decided "Let me get on Xda & other android sites I use and ask for advice and opinions"

I guess this is a good laugh for those beginning their morning haha

It is almost as funny as that time i was using Craigslist to find a g2(I was trading my mytouch 4g) and some person wanted to trade me their G1+25 bucks, lmao
[myTouch 4G General] InGeNeTiCs:
You didn't specify whether this was for the Streak 5 that operates only on AT&T's 3g, or if it was the new streak 7 on t-mobile.

The Streak 7 is 4g, but it's not a phone, so it can't make any phonecalls.

The Streak 5 is at&t, so it won't go any faster than edge speeds on t-mobiles network.

Obviously this person thinks their streak is worth more than it is. Either way, the person with the streak is getting the deal.

Oh i'm sorry

it's a Dell Streak 5(the At&t Version)

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broken:
My wife has a mt4g and i just got a aws streak. I would choose the streak over the mt. Allthough i have to say that i am biased as mine is aws so i get 3g. Mt is a nice phone but honestly not sure if you will see a diff in processors, well except in gaming maybe.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
He's trying to rip off your friend.

New streak: $99 with contract/$549 off

New mt4g: also $99 with contract/$599 off

(ignoring the cost of contract/carrier)

If anything the streak owner should pay your friend or toss in some accessories since your friend would be stuck on edge. If he had one of those rare aws streaks like broken he'd be completely correct to ask for money since they're rather hard to find, but he has a common at&t streak (correct?)

They were both first launched at roughly the same time.

The mt4g's only 1 generation newer, the cpu in the streak is only about a year old (as in the first device launched with it about this time last year)

Speed wise the mt4g only eclipsed by the atrix/tegra2 phones, the chip on the mt4g was the fastest up till just last week. Other sidegrades would be a desire hd/inspire 4g and they cant do 3g on tmo.

The rest is asthetics: Why does your friend hate it? overall layout? screen size? battery life? how android is on it? Personally for me if it's not at least 4.3" I wouldnt even consider it anymore, coming off an iphone 3g a 3.x screen is way to small for anything but really basic browsing/etc.

Having a 5" screen is amazing as a gps device, it's the only 5" device that's sold as phone (technically dell call's it a tablet, but most ~5" tablets dont have a cell modem)

(yea i did a ton of research before deciding to keep my streak, it's a tough pill to swallow if it wasnt $99 since it launched on an aging platform, but i wouldnt trade it myself)

Hope that muddies the water enough for you ;)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muscleshop:
It's really not the Streak owners concern, nor is it his problem, that your friend is on the crappy Tmobile network/plan...and thus would be relegated to edge when using a Streak. So why should the seller of the Streak be penalized for it? Just because you/your friend doesn't like the proposed deal doesn't make the other person a rip off artist.

What if your friend was an AT&T customer, would the streak seller still be trying to rip him off, since he would be using the Streak on 3G? It really doesn't matter what type of deals, initial, promotions are going on. Go to Best Buy and look at all the big screen tv's. For the most part, tv's that have the same exact specs: You're gonna pay more for the larger screen in most instances.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Both the seller and his friend are on tmo, so the streak seller isnt using 3g to begin with,

and it would be closer to a 47" lcd being the same price as a 42" led, since the latter is using newer technology. The streak is great because of the screen, the rest of the stuff in it is a generation older than the mt4g. If it was a 4.0-4.3" <-> mt4g it would be a flat out bad deal to ask for money since they're all more or less the same internally.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] buntymunna:
Hii all

I'm from India, using Sony Ericsson Mini pro (u20i) and still in Airtel 2G and here Telecom Operators just started to roll out 3G services. Currently Airtel, Vodafone and TATA Docomo providing 3G services here.

I checked my handset compatibility both in Airtel and Vodafone websites. According to them my Mini Pro is 3G enabled but based on WCDMA technology so i get low speed 3G upto 384kbps. So they are suggesting me to upgrade HSPA enabled handsets that supports higher speed 3G that varies from 14mbps to 21mbps. I have been told that 3g on WCDMA really sucks as compared to HSPA enabled handsets.

According to Tata Docomo which provides HSPA + (also dubbed as 3.5G+) service and as they mentioning in their 3G handset compatibility list that Mini pro supports HSPA and it is a superior 3G ready handset. Sony Ericsson Indian website also states that it has Turbo 3G and HSPA enabled. Even in my handset box it has clearly mentioned that handset has HSPA and Turbo 3G.

Now in the handset settings menu, there is an option to select network mode which only gives only 3 options that is WCDMA only, GSM only and GSM/WCDMA.

So which one is true? Is my Mini Pro HSPA ready handset or only supports WCDMA? What Sony Ericsson and Tata Docomo states is true? or Airtel and Vodafone? Which Sim to buy? Im in great confusion. Please help in this regard.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Sideromelane:
Yeah it IS HSPA enabled, it uses it by default usually, which adds to the miserable battery life if there is no 3g or HSPA signal available, as it continually scans, looking for it.

Mine actually uses HSPA by default, dropping to 3g when the signal is poor and down to G when it loses 3g altogether. (H, 3g, G respectivly).

Rooted phones can also have the full power of the connectivity chip unlocked to achieve up to 8mbps depending on provider and reception etc.

I just went to tigerdirect.com and noticed that they have 3 versions of the A10 up for pre-order. Tiger is one of my "trusted" online retailers so I feel pretty good about this. The problem is StreamTV being very vague about wether or not they are going to offer this with HoneyComb, or if they are going to follow up by providing us with a OTA update. That is what has me on the fence. What do you think?
[General Questions and Answers] zahir32:
It will ship with Foyo - at least, mine will - and for now, that will be fine. A familiar firmware platform will help me get used to the new hardware, and provide a reliable point of comparison. Of course, I'm expecting to see Honeycomb on it soon enough, either via an Elocity update or XDA developers or both.

Some things that will matter to me: running apps off the SD card, important because of the limited system memory; wide viewing angles and true mulitouch; snappy interface; app compatibilty; and build quality. Am expecting the USB port to interface correctly with my PC.

Let's see! Mine should be here in 7 - 10 days.
